B2i Digital, the Capital Markets Matchmaker, announced today the Precious Metals & Critical Minerals Hybrid Conference, scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2026, at OTC Markets Headquarters in Manhattan. The event will be simultaneously broadcast live to a global investor audience, combining in-person access with virtual participation.
The conference is co-sponsored by The Nuvo Group, in collaboration with The Prospector Resource Investment News, Resource World Magazine, and the Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME). The day will open with a keynote address titled "The Bullish Outlook For Precious Metals" by Jeff Christian, Managing Partner of CPM Group, followed by presentations from public companies spanning gold, silver, copper, nickel, cobalt, lithium, rare earths, titanium, and phosphate. The lineup includes senior producers, mid-tier developers, and exploration-stage issuers.
The hybrid format is designed to offer institutional investors in Manhattan face-to-face meetings with management, while a live virtual broadcast allows global investors to access the same content in real time. Structured 1x1 meeting requests are facilitated through the conference platform.
David Shapiro, CEO of B2i Digital, emphasized the value of the hybrid approach. "What I like about a hybrid event is that it doesn't ask anyone to choose. Investors who can be in Manhattan walk in and meet management face to face. Investors anywhere else in the world get the same content live the same day. Adding the in-person layer on top of what VIC already does virtually just gives both audiences a better experience," Shapiro said.
The Nuvo Group, a New York-based provider of financial printing, SEC/EDGAR filing, proxy design, and shareholder communications services, joined as co-sponsor. Tony Barletta, Managing Partner of The Nuvo Group, noted the relevance of the conference to the current market. "Most of the companies presenting at this conference are exactly the kind of issuers we work with every day, public companies navigating SEC filings, proxy season, and the constant communication demands of the capital markets. Mining and critical minerals is moving fast right now, and giving these management teams a direct line to institutional and retail investors is something we wanted to get behind," Barletta said.
The conference schedule includes morning and afternoon sessions. The morning session (9:00 AM to 12:15 PM ET) will feature Viva Gold Corp., Cygnus Metals Limited, Eloro Resources Ltd., Oreterra Metals Corp., and Metals One plc. The afternoon session (12:30 PM to 4:15 PM ET) will include Amaroq Ltd., Midnight Sun Mining Corp., Star Gold Corp., Sirios Resources Inc., Canadian Phosphate Limited, Honey Badger Silver Inc., and Renforth Resources, Inc.
Investors can register for the live virtual broadcast for the morning session and afternoon session, or register for in-person attendance. To schedule a 1x1 meeting with management, visit the Axle Access platform. For more details on the conference, visit the B2i Digital website.
This conference highlights the growing interest in precious metals and critical minerals, which are essential for various technologies and industries. By providing a platform for companies to present directly to investors, the event aims to facilitate capital formation and investment in these sectors.
